The 70-year-old told TMZ he had the ‘routine’ procedure done on his face on Monday, but the surgery went horribly wrong.

"They made me look like a monster!" said the Prince, who wouldn't say what the procedure was meant to do in the first place.

Von Anhalt's lawyer wouldn’t tell the gossip site exactly what the procedure was for either, but said they will sue if the damage can’t be reversed.

Prince von Anhalt married Hollywood siren Gabor in 1986, and holds the title of longest-lasting husband.

Legally husband number eight, Prince von Anhalt is in fact the ninth man Gabor married during her lifetime - her marriage to Felipe de Alba in 1983 only lasted one day, and was annulled.

The fact that his wife is now bed-ridden after suffering a number of medical emergencies, including two strokes, hasn't stopped von Anhalt throwing a number of parties in her honour.

In 2012 in celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary, the German-born von Anhalt hired a billboard to advertise for a huge party.

The large gesture reportedly cost him US $68,000 according to the LA Times.

He received a lot of criticism for throwing the party, but told the LA Times it's all for Gabor.

“Look,” he told the website, “my wife is 94 years old. She should have everything she wants and should have everything large. This big party is not for the guests, not for the media, not for me -- this big party is for Zsa Zsa.”

However the Daily Mail reported the former siren was kept 'behind closed doors' for much of the party, while guests celebrated with von Anhalt.

Controversially in 2007 von Anhalt claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby Dannielynn, after Smith died of a prescription drug overdose.

His claims were later squashed when a court ruled photographer Larry Birkenhead as the father, following a positive parternity test.

Von Anhalt has frequently clashed with his wife's only child, Constance Francesca Hilton, a daughter from Gabor's second marriage to hotel tycoon Conrad Hilton.

Hilton was shocked when von Anhalt annouced in 2011 that he wanted his wife to become a mother again, via surrogacy.
